Green Schools Conference 2026

The 16th annual Green Schools Conference (GSC) is the premier education and engagement opportunity for professionals involved in creating and advocating for green schools, with a focus on those leading their schools and school systems toward whole-school sustainability. The three-day event brings together a national community of educators, school leaders, designers, and advocates committed to whole-school sustainability. Attendees can expect inspiring sessions, expert panels, workshops, and dynamic networking opportunities to drive progress, explore interdisciplinary content, address specific challenges, exchange best practices, and enhance green school initiatives nationwide. The 2026 event will feature two days of inspiring sessions, expert-led workshops, and dynamic networking opportunities, followed by optional post-conference tours, which offer attendees a chance to explore sustainability in action at local schools and organizations across the San Diego area. The GSC is presented by the Center for Green Schools in partnership with the Green Schools National Network.
